Maybe the #1 reason the Rhino outran the Teryx

[Hunterworks]

Since we have had no reason to look into the Brute Force until now I was not privy to some info about how Kawasaki sets up their CDI and timing.

I have not been able to think about much else in the last couple of days and even my employees wish the Teryx was gone because I am have been a little pre-occupied.

Anyway in Kawasaki's infinite wisdom and because of ambulance tracing lawyers they have two timing curves in the Brute Force ignition and it is dependent on speed. The timing won't advance until the vehicle reaches 5 mph. Their thinking is this: If you are on a hill crawling up and shoot the gas to it, it will be way down on power if you're under 5 mph so that you might not flip it over backwards.

The funny part is they did this to the Teryx as well. After not being able to sleep much last night I went back to the shop this morning and verified the curve. In neutral it had one curve and when you put it in gear (I had it on the dyno) and checked it was different. The timing curve in the Teryx is still a good bit less advanced than the Brute Force once again proving they de-tuned it for the Teryx.

The reason if you have not figured it out why the Rhino outran it was the Teryx was underpowered to 5 mph therefore the Rhino which is fuel injected and its' curve is based off throttle position alone, responded lightning fast therefore getting the jump on the Teryx.

Once we get a ignition for it and a few other minor mods, it might very well be the beast some have been looking for.
